Last year, I posted the message below about unusual zinc consumption and got many insightful responses about possible causes. I decided to do nothing specific and see if it happened again this last season. I can report that the anodes were in good shape when the boat was pulled last November- much the same as in previous years. So I am going with the shore power stray current suggestion, as I cruised to some new sites last year and spent a few days plugged into shore power in a place I have not been before or since. So if that is correct, Joe Della Barba would be the winner. Maybe we should keep score in the future? Perhaps have a Stump the Chumps episode periodically ala Car Talk? Dave
